<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7767240, member: 103207&quot;]Luster can be hard to judge on a toned coin.&nbsp; Even in hand these coins are tough with toning.&nbsp; I have also found some people put to much weight into luster.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me wrong it&#039;s important but, there is a point that when the toning will hide the luster.&nbsp; You need the right type of light to determine the luster. If you don&#039;t use the correct light under the right conditions your going to get the wrong impression of the coin.&nbsp; For me I like to take coins out on my deck on a nice sunny day and then look at them.&nbsp; You will see the luster on any coin if you take it out into sunlight.&nbsp; At a coin show if you looking at slabbed coins you can use a small LED flash light.&nbsp; A good LED light will give you enough light to evaluate the coins surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
